Madam Chair, I can say from the perspective of the Métis National Council that we certainly wouldn't view this meeting as consultation, in the same way that we haven't viewed our participation in review under CEAA as consultation. That process has been a very in-depth process. I'm a member of the multi-interest advisory committee under that process, as is my colleague, Ms. Hoyt. We've explicitly shared that same view.
I think that one of the challenges today is that very point. There are no proposed changes in front of us. It makes it particularly challenging to be able to respond and say from the Métis National Council's view, we're not sure what you're considering doing, but here's how we would respond to those potential changes.
I think that one of the important aspects of this process would be to ensure that any changes would include consultation with the Métis National Council and the Métis nation, and in particular through our governing members.
Thank you.
